"Uncharitable" Racist Ideas Watch

So I am strolling along minding my own business and I come across this at the orthodox and faithful (GOP) Heart Minds and Strength blog:

PROGRESS AGAINST AIDS [Sandra Miesel]
1/30/2005
Some heartening statistics about lives saved from AIDS here:

Yet we have conservative Catholics and Christians stubbornly clinging to the Duesberg Hypothesis that says HIV doesn't cause AIDS, it's a "lifestyle" syndrome, not a disease spread by a virus. Never mind that every single bit of evidence accumulated since Duesberg went public refuts him. Lately E. Michael Jones has been getting some favorable Catholic press by claiming that there is no such thing as AIDS in Africa. It's all a hoax to facilitate "social engineering" by teaching Africans how to be gay and keeping their numbers down through codom use.

On the other hand, a frightening number of black Americans think HIV was created and spread by the CDC to kill them.

Invincible ignorance runs rampant.

Where the heck is that coming from? A frightening number of Black Americans are invincibly ignorant?

Okay here's this from the Guardian:

Almost half of all African-Americans believe that HIV, the virus that causes Aids, is man-made, more than a quarter believe it was produced in a government laboratory and one in eight think it was created and spread by the CIA, according to a study released by Rand Corporation and the University of Oregon.

So 1/2 of the Black population thinks HIV is man made. I actually suspect so myself.

25% of Blacks believe it was created in a government lab. I'm lost here. What precisely is so ridiculous about believing HIV was made in a government lab? There's biological weapons crap that would make AIDS look like child play in military and government sponsored labs nationwide.

13% of Black folks think it was spread by the CIA. So what! That's 13% and by the way, need I remind us of the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments that went on for 40 years as the government lied to Blacks and watched and observed the disease spread just to test a hypothesis that never panned or should have been considered in the first place.

By the end of the experiment, 28 of the men had died directly of syphilis, 100 were dead of related complications, 40 of their wives had been infected, and 19 of their children had been born with congenital syphilis. How had these men been induced to endure a fatal disease in the name of science? To persuade the community to support the experiment, one of the original doctors admitted it “was necessary to carry on this study under the guise of a demonstration and provide treatment.” At first, the men were prescribed the syphilis remedies of the day—bismuth, neoarsphenamine, and mercury—but in such small amounts that only 3 percent showed any improvement. These token doses of medicine were good public relations and did not interfere with the true aims of the study. Eventually, all syphilis treatment was replaced with “pink medicine”—aspirin. To ensure that the men would show up for a painful and potentially dangerous spinal tap, the PHS doctors misled them with a letter full of promotional hype: “Last Chance for Special Free Treatment.” The fact that autopsies would eventually be required was also concealed. As a doctor explained, “If the colored population becomes aware that accepting free hospital care means a post-mortem, every darky will leave Macon County…” Even the Surgeon General of the United States participated in enticing the men to remain in the experiment, sending them certificates of appreciation after 25 years in the study.

And Mrs Miesel thinks that Blacks who saw their government that enslave them, permit lynchings, dehumanize them, experiment on them and still fights against their progress today, are invincibly ignorant because 13% of Blacks are suspicious of the government vis a vis the HIV virus?
